Pros / Cons
  • It was certainly better than some of the other tools we looked at, but we wanted the most intuitive interface for our staff who in this role are a bit technically novice and for our moms, many of whom grapple with technology as well.

  • It keeps everything organized, from daily notes and photos to billing and attendance, and it makes communication with families seamless.
  • I needed to set up a new business and center quickly, and if Playground hadn't been available I'd still be arguing about high prices and struggling with onboarding with the competition.
